This week’s homework is practice makes perfect and is due in on Wednesday 10 November.

I can show how I have practised measuring, length, weight or capacity.

When we talked as a class we came up with some ideas. Ideas included:

  • Measuring items found at home using a ruler.
  • Helping to weigh ingredients in the kitchen (possibly a cake for Mr Wilks!).
  • Comparing the units used to measure weight, length or capacity.For example, how many centimetres in two metres? How many grams in a kilogram?

Best of luck! I will look forward to seeing what you have done on Wednesday.

NSPCC Buddy’s Big Workout

In PE this morning we took on Buddy’s Big Workout!

To fit in with our PE topic, we had decided to try and complete 100 throws and catches. It wasn’t easy. There were a few missed catches. There were a few erratic throws.

But we did manage to make the 100 target! The last throw was a bit tense, but Pamela’s throw was straight and Loraine’s catch was perfect!

It’s now time to get the sponsorship envelopes back in to school. All envelopes need to be in before Thursday 21 October.

Thank you.

It was fantastic to hear all the things you found out from last week’s talk time homework. A big thank you to those who had to delve back a long way in their memories, and also to those whose didn’t have to delve too far!

The homework this week is creative and is due in on Wednesday 20 October.

I can see 2d and 3d shapes around me.

We had a talk as a class about this and came up with some brilliant ideas for what we could do. Ideas included:

  • Taking pictures of some 2d and 3d shapes you see.
  • Sketching some shapes you see at home.
  • Making an object, such as a person or animal out of lots of different shapes.
  • Creating a shape collage out of pictures from a magazine
  • Making some pop-up 3d shapes – good luck with that one!

I will look forward to seeing what you have created on Wednesday. Best of luck!

The homework this week is Creative and is due in on Wednesday 6th October.

I can write a short playscript about something that happened at the weekend.

This homework links in with our literacy topic of playscripts.

Your playscript could be about:

  • a trip to the shops

Make it as likely or unlikely as you wish!

I will look forward to seeing your creations on Wednesday!

Good luck.
